Miyan Williams will return for the second ranked Ohio State.
The return of Williams gives the Ohio State run game a big boost. His 6.7 yards per carry is the fifth best in the country.
The 5-foot-9, 225-pound tailback, who has emerged as one of the country's most rugged runners this season, is expected to be relied on for a heavier load against Michigan. Ohio State will again be without star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has been out since October with a hamstring issue that has limited him to three games this season.
Williams was carted off the field against Indiana and missed last week's game. According to sources, he has looked good in practice this week and will be in top shape by the end of the week.
This will be the fourth game that Henderson has missed this season because of his foot injury, and he appeared to be hampered by it in an 11-carry performance against Maryland. He was on the sideline and wore a walking boot.
Dallan Hayden had his second straight 100 yard game in Henderson's place. In Ohio State's win over Maryland, Hayden ran for 146 yards and three touchdown on 27 carries after running for 102 yards and one touchdown against Indiana.
Matt Jones is a game-time decision. After the Maryland game, Jones was on crutches because of an injury.
